There is, just turn off Windows Updates.

It isn't so straight forward if you aren't in the know on special tooling like O&O ShutUp 10 to accomplish it for you. Even then it'll get reset after updating and you'll have to fix it again. There is no "don't ever update unless I tell you to" checkbox, there is only the option to pause them for a limited time.

Windows is actively user hostile when it comes to updates.

Use Windows Pro and Group Policy Editor. There isn't a checkbox there but a radio box that allows you to configure update behaviour in detail. Never had an issue with it during all upgrades.

And if Windows Home users should be able to disable automatic updates is debatable.

I don't think it is debatable. Users should have control over their own computers.
